Description:
Through this 30-month project, Canadian Pakistani Support Group Association (CPSG) will scale the Leading Change curriculum to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address intergenerational domestic violence, specifically within immigrant communities in Edmonton and Calgary. To do so, the project activities include the revision of the existing materials with partners to inform and develop a culturally relevant and responsive version of the Leading Change curriculum for immigrant youth, engaging and empowering immigrant youth to identify their potential to create and lead change through discussions, workshops, training, an ongoing Community of Practice, and meetings with various stakeholders and team members. Prevention strategies on domestic violence will be developed and implemented in Edmonton and Calgary. CPSG will collaborate with the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters (ACWS) and other community stakeholders on various project activities. Furthermore, an external evaluator will develop an evaluation framework and complete a final project evaluation when the project ends. CPSGA will also produce a Final Report that they will share with WAGE’s GBV Learning Centre, and other organizations through a Media Release and Impact Report to disseminate their findings on the scaling of this promising practice so that others may replicate it or expand upon it.

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
